Red Panda Tensor Pitch- and Time-Shifting Pedal -NEW
In brief: Pitch- and Time-Shifting Pedal with Multidirectional Looper, -2 to +2 Octave Effect, Randomizer, Mono or Stereo Output, MIDI Connectivity, and USB
The Red Panda Tensor puts an entire universe of pitch and time manipulation at your feet. From live reverse, tape-stop, glitch, freeze, and pitch-shift to time-stretching, looping, and more, the Tensor delivers an endless supply of inspiring and unexpected sounds. Despite its deep capabilities, it remains remarkably intuitive, with spacious controls, top-mounted jacks, dual footswitches, and expanded preset functionality when paired with external MIDI. Whether you play guitar, bass, keys, drums, or even vocals, the Tensor unlocks new dimensions of creativity.
Stutter, Stretch, Shift, Randomize & Reverse
At neutral settings, the Tensor can add subtle flanger, vibrato, and chorus-like textures. Push the time and pitch controls, and it transforms into an engine for ambient washes, glitched-out leads, shifting drones, and otherworldly modulation. It’s as musical as it is experimental.
Time & Pitch Control Down to the Details
The Tensor gives each essential function—time, speed, pitch, blend, and randomization—its own dedicated knob.
-
Time: Speed up or slow down playback up to 4× without shifting pitch in standard mode.
-
Pitch: Sweep a massive –2 to +2 octave range for deep subharmonics, crystalline highs, and everything in between.
-
Speed: Explore tape-style behavior in one turn: reverse to the left, forward to the right, neutral at center.
-
Randomizer: Intelligent variation generator that introduces pitch, speed, and time changes tailored to your current settings. Even when things get weird, it keeps the Tensor musical.
With two footswitches—each offering momentary or latching modes—the Tensor works equally well as a standard stompbox or a full creative workstation.
- Trigger instant rewinds, stutter bursts, or rhythmic glitches.
- Choose from forward, alternating, and reverse playback.
- Select overdub, record, or next-loop modes.
Loops last up to 9.4 seconds mono or 4.7 seconds stereo, giving you plenty of room to build ideas.
